Abstract
This study explores the significant role of celebrity endorsements and influencer marketing in shaping consumer behavior within the beauty industry. It focuses on key factors such as brand perception, consumer trust, and purchase intention, demonstrating the increasing reliance on these strategies to drive consumer decisions and sales. The analysis uncovers critical challenges, including an over-dependence on celebrity endorsements, the conflict between fostering short-term sales and building long-term brand loyalty, and the complexities of regulatory issues surrounding influencer marketing. To address these challenges, the research suggests that beauty brands diversify their marketing efforts beyond celebrity partnerships, ensuring endorsements are tailored to specific consumer segments. It emphasizes the importance of transparent marketing practices to enhance consumer trust, alongside utilizing data analytics to optimize strategies and better target audiences. By adopting these recommendations, brands can effectively leverage endorsements while promoting sustainable growth, fostering deeper consumer relationships, and maintaining loyalty in an increasingly competitive market. The findings provide actionable insights for beauty brands looking to enhance their marketing strategies and improve overall consumer engagement.
